Laurel's been using the phrase "my sister" regularly. It doesn't make sense to me until today, since she's an only child and I don't think she bonded that closely with the nerdsprout (Vogon's daughter).
[drum roll please]
While I was waking up from a nap this afternoon, she came into the bedroom and said "My sister!" to the cat.
I'm pleased she understands that Biko is a girl, but I'm not sure how to explain to people that the sister she refers to is a cat.

Out of curiosity, did you have eye or hair/fur color in common? One of Laurel's points is that she and Biko both have blue eyes.
I have to remember to pick up a fake fur remnant sometime to make Laurel a tail she can wear with her cat ear headbands.
At first she said, "She can't be a person because she has 4 legs and we have two." (A remarkable observation, I think). I replied, "Just because she's different that doesn't make her less of a person. She still has feelings just like you do."
Perhaps when talking to Lala you should refer to Biko as "Your furry sister." That should confuse people well enough, don't ya think? LOL
